Just took a photo-course - great stuff!

Hey all,

I just want to express my happiness about the photo-course I take this week. It started yesterday and will end on friday.

After a rather boring start with nearly nothing new yesterday, today it was so great.

We shot a roll (24x Ilford Delta 400 ) and immediatly developed it. Tomorrow we will learn how to wetprint in the darkroom.
That makes me so happy right now. It is everything I wanted to learn about. Apart from art work maybe, but that's a bit too much for a beginners' course.

And about all the group mix and climate is also very friendly and nice. :) I think this will end as a great week.

Sounds like a great start, Florian. Remember, though....it's JUST a start. Enjoy the ride...

Regards!

Today we learned how to wet-print photos. Below are my results. Shot with Fed-2 (Industar 26m lens) on Ilford Delta 100, ISO 400. Processed with chemicals of the same brand and made on paper of the same brand.

I did the whole processing myself for the first time with those. Great experience and a whole lot of fun!

Comments are very welcome.

Looks like you're doing it right! A college course is where my serious interest in photography began, and I'm forever grateful for the start. Have fun!

Regards!

Thank you Don.

I will post some more results of my work with the course later today on my flickr page.

Today I was able to produce five more paper enlargements from the negs shot yesterday. Among them one shot of myself from a negative of one of the other attendants. :)
